The corporation is a collectivist entity. Which is to say that it subsumes individuals... to its purpose.


Some have compared/equated communitarianism to/with neo-feudalism... but also to neocolonialism and neoplatonism*. Remember always that communitarianism is said to be the Final Solution - so perfect that it need not give rise to any further conflict or debate. This is because the language – yes, it too is a technology – can be wielded in such a way in a totalitarian police state that it can easily be manipulated to implement/enforce an always malleable and, thus, changeable policy. In an efficient and orderly fashion, the technoslaves will see to it themselves.

Communitarianism [Synthesis/Solution]

In the communitarian’s mind the buy-in has already been engineered, so now the slaves can implement the vision. The corporatist model of governance utilizes a corporate framework to impose its caste system* on everyone who chooses to engage with it in contract – a type of voluntary servitude, if you will.

It’s no wonder why the trend towards privatization of government – the corporate business model is well entrenched as a fact of life in the public mind. Which is to say it’s readily accepted; and, therefore, it’s the ideal vehicle for those hellbent on monopoly… and your acquiescence to their communitarian system of global governance [management]… so that today… you and <ahem> the Community can better place a stranglehold, a death grip, on this world.

 

"There are always a few, better endowed than others, who feel the weight of the yoke and cannot restrain themselves from attempting to shake it off: these are the men who never become tamed under subjection and who always, like Ulysses on land and sea constantly seeking the smoke of his chimney, cannot prevent themselves from peering about for their natural privileges and from remembering their ancestors and their former ways. These are in fact the men who, possessed of clear minds and far-sighted spirit, are not satisfied, like the brutish mass, to see only what is at their feet, but rather look about them, behind and before, and even recall the things of the past in order to judge those of the future, and compare both with their present condition. These are the ones who, having good minds of their own, have further trained them by study and learning. Even if liberty had entirely perished from the earth, such men would invent it. For them slavery has no satisfactions, no matter how well disguised."


- The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude, by Étienne de La Boétie


"All men, as long as they remain men, before letting themselves become enslaved must either be driven by force or led into it by deception. When they lose their liberty through deceit they are not so often betrayed by others as mislead by themselves."


- The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude, by Étienne de La Boétie


 

“As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from its true purpose – that it may violate property instead of protecting it – then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder.”

“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”

-From The Law (1850), by Frédéric Bastiat
